Aphareus 1 married Arene, daughter of Oebalus 1 and Gorgophone 2 (the first woman to marry a second time), and after Arene a city was named.
Aphareus 1 received in his house the exiled Neleus, who had been expelled from Iolcus by his twin brother King Pelias 1, the same man who sent Jason and the ARGONAUTS to Colchis.
With the death of these two brothers, the house of Aphareus 1 died out and the throne passed to the house that had its residence at Pylos, that is, to Neleus and his sons.
